how about add a capacitor ??

 

[kayef]

yeah.....those like BMW wan.....slowly can dim down!!

i also thought of adding capacitor but still thinking wanna connect parellel or series and wat value capacitor to use......i dowan to get anything on fire la

i tried before simply connect stuff in lab then the capacitor blow!!! tats y don dare to simply play alre.....if got ppl do b4 hope can learn to do it the correct way ma

those round thingy not flouresent light?
flouresent light canot dim rite?

 

[khaixtreme]

hahaa.. nv tot of this thing also... capacitor might work... nola nola. should work... if not wat else???

if adding capacitor... should be parallel to it.... voltage is double ur working voltage.... 12V means u got to get more than 24V or slightly less.... Then lastly.... get very big capacitance for longer delay time..... hehehe.....

 

[khaixtreme]

supposingly fluroscent kenot dim.... i mean the house one kenot dim.... cause they're using starter and ballast to make the tube glow. But wat confuse me is... those car one can dim a little... if u notice... it will dim one but for very slight interval...

No need BM/camry lah! My cheap Lantis oredi has this feature.

 

[gavan]

ahhaha :P lolz, seen this on a spectra also, normally flourencent lights cannot lor, those normal bulbs should be able to larr, cause flourencent normally is either on or off, no inbetween wan, lolz. i also never think of this larr, ehehehehe, so i think i shall try it one day, just add capasitor across rite?
